I'll second or third ditching the BFGs...worst tires ever for traction. Really not great off road either in my experience. They tend to wear like iron and aren't terrible first year or so but tread compound gets hard and slippery fast....the siping or lack there of makes them terrible in wet conditions.
I've had them on two different trucks and I couldn't wait to get rid of them after 1st year. on both occasions. I've got a buddy who loves them cause he can get 60k+ miles out of them pulling trailers on highway but even he complains about traction when not loaded down just driving around.
I've got a 2016 limited and 2018 sr5...I can't say I've had any issues with traction control from either on or off road. The 2016 did few hundred miles on some sketchy,rough, loose Wyoming backroads last year...I dont recall TC kicking in one time...maybe mines broken🤷‍♂️

I bought the truck with the BFG's but have been perusing all the tire threads lately looking for replacement tires for the future. Unfortunately (or fortunately???) these tires still have lots of life left in them though. They've been fine for the most part and can't complain about them other than this traction thing on the truck. They're size 275-70-18's.....E range, and snow peak rated. I do like long life tires though, because so many aren't.

unless your running that thing heavy all the time those E load tires aren't helping your ride or handling at all...Go back to standard or XL rated.
I run E rated on my 2016...but its a dedicated rig and weighs the same as 3/4 ton truck unloaded and required them for the weight and actually helps handling on that one.
I put Es on my wife's 2018 cause that was all I could get in size she wanted at the time during covid...killed the ride/handling on that truck can't wait to wear them out and go back to standard load range.
